Southernmost point is one of Key West’s attractions. The monument was built in 1983 and sits at the southernmost point of the United States, just 90 miles (160 km) from Cuba.
Florida airboat tours are trademarks of the state. A classic!
These boats have a large propeller at the rear, which sits out of the water and allows them to glide – at high speed – through the flooded vegetation so characteristic of this part of the United States.
O que fazer na Flórida: passeio de airboat nos Everglades
I love airboat riding and have had 4 amazing experiences, very different from each other. I recommend them all:
The Castillo de San Marco is one of the top attractions of Saint Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S. The fortress, built by the Spanish, is the oldest masonry fort in the country and according to its history, is invincible.
You can’t not talk about shopping, right?! Even with the dollar soaring, even on a more ‘different’ list than doing in Florida.
The first European explorer to arrive in Florida is said to have been Ponce de Leon, after getting lost at sea during a storm.
Exploring a more cosmopolitan side of Florida, it’s worth connecting to special events in the lineup of two excellent museums in Florida, from happy hour to musical shows. Nothing like a night at the museum, right?!
Following this, another unique experience on this list of things to do in Florida is swimming with free manatees in the wild at Crystal River (160km from Orlando), the largest winter natural refuge for these animals on Florida’s West Coast.
To start this list with tips on what to do in Florida far beyond the obvious, I chose lunch with an astronaut at Kennedy Space Center.
Sail through the canals of Fort Lauderdale on a mini speedboat and enjoy a relaxing moment on the water. Known as the “Venice of America,” this canal-filled area is filled with yachts, mansions, and mangrove forests. A speedboat helps you easily navigate the waterways without expending energy, so you can sit back and admire the scenery while pedaling.
Get an up-close look at Florida’s spectacular coastal mangrove forests—and enjoy an active way to explore—on this kayaking or paddleboarding tour. Choose from several tour schedules, head to the starting point, and meet your guide: after an introduction to your kayak or pedal boat, you’ll reach the water. Paddle through mangrove tunnels, get a chance to spot wildlife like dolphins and manatees, and learn more about the forests from your guide.
